Fundraising Manager

Plant Your Future is an international grassroots environmental charity with the vision of a restored Amazon Rainforest. To achieve this, we’re working to promote sustainable farming with Peruvian smallholder farmers, empowering them to adopt agroforestry and generate sustainable incomes through sale of sustainably harvested fruit, timber and carbon credits. Our work is not only an effective way to tackle climate change, but it also reduces the deforestation pressure on the rainforest and helps protect irreplaceable high conservation value rainforest biodiversity, including threatened animal and bird species. To date, we have helped 17 rural communities in the Loreto and Ucayali regions of the Peruvian Amazon to plant over 150,000 trees. Right now, we’re in the middle of a significant scale-up, with a plan to plant one million trees by 2025 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated self-starter with a successful track-record in fundraising to help Plant Your Future continue to grow and achieve its goal of planting a million trees and beyond. 

You will be working closely with the Board of Trustees, as well as other volunteers. The role is home-based, although ability to travel to donor meetings, events and to meetings with the PYF Trustees is expected.
